bluestreak Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Proslide Meanstreak! In other news, CP's instagram is full of butt hurt CP fanboys complaining that it's not an RMC... It's actually quite funny to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I still won't step foot in there again unless they include it with admission. Well, then I guess you aren't going to Cedar Point Shores either regardless of what they do. Probably not. I wasn't expecting to. Unless they blow me away with a water coaster or something huge, I'll stick to the dry coasters when I visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I still won't step foot in there again unless they include it with admission. Looks like you'll never step foot in there cause Point will always operate it as a second gate for extended stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Cedar Fair is really having fun with all their announcements this year. But all this teasing is giving me blue balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I like the idea of re-naming Soak City and giving it an update. It'll be interesting to see if this slide complex is the only major addition this year and they'll expand it over time, or if they're making a lot of updates all at once like they did with Carolina Harbor. Personally I'm leaning towards the latter since this is really just a teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thread Killer Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It is much needed. I am happy about this. So am I. Hopefully there is more to come at CPS, but I am happy with baby steps if that's all they are doing for the waterpark this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 ^^ I'm in agreement with you here! I think the fact this teaser not only says there's more, but they're still having that announcement at Soak City (RIPieces) tonight, all but confirms there's more to this addition!

The menu includes food items like: Fresh-baked flat breads (caprese, buffalo mac & cheese and more) Farm salad options (crispy chicken BLT, Asian chicken and chicken Caesar) Pesto-glazed grilled chicken sandwiches Fresh-breaded chicken tenders Waffle fries Tater tots Cheeseburgers Bratwurst Loaded potato wedges NEW Ways to Chill The all-new cabanas, located on both sides of the massive wave pool, receive upgrades like free Wi-Fi, charging stations, ceiling fans, TVs and dedicated food and beverage service.

The Geek Mojo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 https://www.cedarpoint.com/what-s-new/cedar-point-shores-water-park New addition site is up! Well, that page makes it seem like that's all there is. I was kind of expecting another wave pool since a lot of the other parks have two. I mean this is Cedar Point...Shouldn't they have two? The last time I was there at Soak City was in 2013 and their wave pool was kind of lame. Anyways, where the hell is that knott's slide going to? Since it's not CP, maybe Canada's Wonderland perhaps?

coasterbill Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Alright so if the renderings are to be believed the kiddy play area is replacing that crappy one that currently has lake water in it, and the new slide complex is replacing the swim up bar (which is complete bull***, lol). I imagine the "new poolside bar, new family changing/showering areas, more lounge chairs, additional shade, improved landscaping and unobstructed views of Lake Erie." will be off to the side of the slide / old swim up bar where there are already unobstructed views of Lake Erie. This is a nice addition. I'm still expecting a larger, Carolina Harbor style waterpark upgrade but maybe they'll do it over time rather than all at once, or maybe they first wanted to upgrade the things in the existing waterpark that needed work before expanding on to new areas. Either option makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestreak Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I find it interesting that there is seemingly nothing new on the RipCord side of Magnum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The poolside bar is currently off between the mat racer and the current tube/body slides. This new tower looks to be where the go karts were. And the new kiddie area seems to be where the current kiddie area is as well as where the go karts where. Magnum will separate the new tower and the new kiddie area. That's what I can tell from the 2 pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Cedar Point's historic Hotel Breakers is growing yet again! Fresh off of a complete renovation in 2015, an additional six-story tower will be added to the classic beachfront property. The new tower will match the beautiful exterior of the existing hotel and will house 158 guest rooms with many of them configured as connecting family suites. A new outdoor pool area will also make its debut alongside the tower. Construction on the addition will begin after Labor Day and will continue through the 2017 season. It will open to new guests in time for the summer of 2018. With the new tower, Hotel Breakers will have a total of 669 rooms, making it one of the largest hotels on the Great Lakes – and the love for the property keeps growing. Hotel Breakers has been voted one of the “Top 25 Hotels for Families” by readers of TripAdvisor and is just steps away from both Cedar Point and the new Cedar Point Shores Water Park. Guests who stay at the Cedar Point Resorts receive the best benefits – Early Entry, allowing access to Cedar Point one hour before the general public to ride some of the biggest attractions, the best deal on park admission tickets (tickets that include free admission to Cedar Point Shores for the length of their chosen 1-day, 2-day or 3-day ticket) and of course, the closest rooms to the world’s greatest collection of rides. Details on rates and reservations for the 2017 season will be available in early fall. Link: Hotel Breakers Expansion If this is connecting to the hotel then I guess it'll go on the adjacent plot of land near Challenge Golf where there's currently a parking lot. If they need additional parking then I would think it's time to say goodbye to Challenge Golf. Personally if Challenge Golf isn't gone next year I'll be shocked.

CoasterRench Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 RIP mini golf https://www.cedarpoint.com/what-s-new/hotel-breakers-expansion edit: and while already known - https://www.cedarpoint.com/what-s-new/cedar-point-s-express-hotel Hotel looks nice, wish it was closer to the park like Sandcastle Suites or Hotel Breakers. But I guess that's why the rates are typically cheaper there vs the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I don't really understand the point of rebranding the waterpark with a new name. The soak city name was just fine, and not to mention the additional cost of rebranding the waterpark name. Most people that I know of going to cedarpoint, go for the coasters and the waterpark is kinda an afterthought. Even though I'm not a Waterpark person, I do agree that the waterpark needed a fresh attraction. Kinda surprised that they are not adding a bowl slide to soak city as its one of the more popular waterpark attractions. Now what about the mean streak areas future?
